    Good Job!
    Nice work there Sak. Been a S/D since 1993. Good relations with x. I have 2 teenage daughters 16 and 18. 16 yr old in USA Futures, ( Pre US Olympic Program for Field Hockey) She is also a honors student. Her top honor however occured this fall when she went to meet her friends and found one of them passed out. She called hers sister and her B/F and they got her to hospital before serious damage. We had talked about these kind of situations when they were younger. Oh, and both of my daughters followed your rule. They would not answer any questions about location of gathering. Told them to be concerned about their friend and not police. Her parents were very grateful to my girl. Oh and my 18 year old is in the NHS, a Peer Leader and Varsity athlete. My friends say I need a paternity test because they couldn't possibly be mine!!!

    Photo show in Oakland
    My wife, Rita Hurault, and I have a joint photo show called "Water Textures" at the Nomad Cafe in Oakland CA all this month (January 2008). We got a "Don't miss" in today's San Francisco Chronicle 96 Hours magazine. One of Rita's photos is included (click on the thumbnail to enlarge), and it looks great! Here's a link to all the images on flickr - but you really need to see 'em printed up real nice on the wall! BTW, the photos were printed by Barry Toranto at WIGT in Mill Valley CA, and mounted by Shawn Conte at Dimitroff's Custom Framing in Tiburon CA. GD Hour blog Station list

    The Luck Is All Mine
    Thanks a lot, I do appreicate the compliment. Tghe luck is actually all mine, I could not ask for better kids. Heck, I could not ask for better people whio just happen to be my kids. In fact, I'm waiting on my daughter to go to the store with her. She is having some friends over for NYE and because she is who she is and her friends are who they are--I am stepping out tonight for the first NYE in a few years. As I say the luck is all mine.

    By My Design
    I dont sound my own horn too much but I am going to. I became a single parent of three teenagers in April of '06. I have really no support except myself. My kids were afraid that i would send them away. Instead, I paid for the funeral of my ex--their mother--and then promptly resigned from a high paying union position in order to spend more time at home. I now work the assembly line, which sucks, and earn less then before. However, my kids' grades have gone up and they now are preparing for college. I have three rules in my house: 1. Must get good grades 2. No cops 3. Everyone hates Norte Dame--I'm a Michigan man. Everyting else is open for discussion. I encourage my kids to speak their mind and I include them in decisions that effect them. My family does not agree with my methods but my folks sure didn't write the book on parenting. I may not like how my kids express theirselves, but my method works. So that is my song. As unconvential as I am my kids are becoming fine people.

and much success to your new restaurant gig. Wishing you the very best. You must be passionate about food, people and having a good time.Sure it's a lot of work but not when it's a love. Managed to getaway to the north shore with mama marshun in the fall. We were staying on the shores of Maine...all the seafood you can eat...after the second night we asked a guy at the desk where we could get some really good food... he sent us to a wonderful Italian restaurant...kind of off the beaten path. It was packed and it seemed like the folks were mostly the locals and the tourists in the know. The food was delicious and the place was great. Wishing you similar success and that grass roots clientele that grows and grows with many, many friends. Will try to get there if passing by.

Hiya folks, this is my first post after a long time of forum browsing and musing...especially regarding the '09 tour...And what better way to say hey to you all than by showing off! How modest of me :) I recorded this last month in my attic during a period of writer's block. I recorded a bunch of Dead tunes in high school, so much in fact that I vowed to quit doing it. But old habits do die hard, and Cassidy was just calling to me that night. I was initially going for an '89 type sound, but the drums ended up sounding more late 70s to me...so forgive me if you're offended by my sonic inaccuracy, hehe. Anyway, enjoy! http://packy.selflessdog.com/packy/Cassidy.mp3 Looking forward to chatting and arguing, learning and sharing, and all that good forum stuff!

was today, for my kids. This is worth announcing because, due to depression about me being out of the country, both kids had a major school slump. This year has been MAJOR improvement: Imena had ALL ones and twos, except for a three in mathematics (a 1 in German and English is a major accomplishment) and Callan had all twos and threes, but for a one in history. Here in Germany the grades are 1-6, with one being the best, and 6 failing miserably. YAY! Big pats on the back to both of them, Mama is SOOOO proud! Poor guys been through alot, and SNIFF, sigh, such hard work!!!!! ********************************** It's the end of the world as we know it, and I feel fine

oh no, got some news today, ya know those things she pee's on, well this one reads, well guess........ fu...., shit, gotta be responsible again, no way, heheheheeheh blood results by tom. happy, unhappy, uptown, woooooo, up down all around, guess thats the feel, shit another with my traits, Named my son Michael after Saint Michael, Archangel disperser of Satan and Patron Saint of Paratroops, And the name fits him so well, a little mighty warrior and theme-ster of life. Adventourous and imaginative is he. Creative and always learning, Well cultered and kind. Have some friends that have a boy somewhat challenged, Michael will play with him as well as any, knowing and caring. Is an awesome example of love your brother. Well if a girl? the name may be Jessica, or Mellissa, maybe Althea, or something so classic and relevent to the day.Hope I wasn't sounding to religous earlier, but a name just oota be what it will, Man, Michael is so good there were really no terrible 2's or 3's and he's grumpy like his daddy in the morn, New baby might have horns and come swinging a chain. OH no the anxiety of this, I kinda goof, always told people I'd have a tribe of little dirty faced suntanned tiedye kids runnin around. this brings that much closer. Now if I could stay in the same world for more than a year. holy shit, oh no WTF smiles and smiles, anxiety.

On 09-08-95,9 o'clock pm, the one year twin girls are alreaydy asleep. Marjelaine and me sit down to watch Grateful Dead on PBS (So Far ?). At the end she tell me we have to go to a show ( I saw them twice, her never). The next morning, I tell her that I put on the radio, a thing I never do. First word I knew.01-13-09, 5PM, we buy 2 tickets for Nasseau Coliseum. She has a friend who have a B and B in Harlem. So we will quit Montréal at about 5 in the morning to arrive in NY early afternoon. If somebody of the fraternity can tell us what is the best ( thing fastest) way to go there from 119 st and Lennox to Uniondale, it help us a lot. Share the Love Brothers and Sisters and as we say EN FRANCAIS : Have a Grateful Life!

Nine years ago today, after sixty hours of labor and a c-section, I got to hold my beautiful baby girl, Zanna, in my arms for the first time. Really can't believe she's nine years old already. I am so proud, so lucky and so grateful to be her mom!

Hiya Everyone. I have been creating a statue with Stanley Mouse to add to the Jerry Memorial SIte in Fairfax California. The statue will be real cool. Cast in bronze with a life size guitar with Chrome Plated wings that light up like rainbows or fire. Go to www.JerryMemorial.com to see a animated simulation, rendering, artist conception of the statue. I just added the interactive Jerry Garden where you can mouse over flowers to see photos of flowers that are actually growing at the Current Jerry Memorial. Flowers like Scarlet Begonias, China Cat Sunflowers, Sugar Magnolias, Purple Sage, American Beauties. We are having an event / gathering / jam at the Current Jerry Memorial site on Sat June 13th, 2009 during The Fairfax Festival Again www.JerryMemorial.com TELL A FRIEND PLEASE!!!! Peace, Jim Fox
